The translation frame 5 is driven by a translation mechanism mounted on the worktable 1 to move and adjust along the horizontal direction of the worktable 1. The translation mechanism consists of a fixed frame 2, a second annular seat 6, and a clamping mechanism. The first mounting slot 101 is placed on the workbench 1 and the first threaded rod is rotatably connected to the first mounting slot 101 by a motor drive. A reducer is provided between the motor and the first threaded rod. The bottom end of the translation frame 5 is slidably connected to the first mounting slot 101 and threadedly sleeved on the outside of the first threaded rod. The second annular seat 6 is rotatably connected to the translation frame 5 and is drivenly connected to the rotating seat 3. The second annular seat 6 and the rotating seat 3 rotate synchronously. The clamping mechanism consists of an adjustment component installed on the second annular seat 6 and two sets of clamping seats 702 symmetrically installed inside the second annular seat 6. The two sets of clamping seats 702 are driven to move closer or further apart by the adjustment component. The clamping end of the clamping seat 702 is arc-shaped.

[0020] Furthermore, both the fixed frame 2 and the translation frame 5 are composed of a first annular seat and a support column installed at the bottom of the first annular seat. The length of the support column in the fixed frame 2 is less than the length of the support column in the translation frame 5. The support column in the translation frame 5 is slidably connected to the first mounting groove 101 and threadedly connected to the first threaded rod.

[0021] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a second mounting groove 303, a bidirectional threaded rod 4, and a movable seat 401; the second mounting groove 303 is disposed on the rotating seat 3; the bidirectional threaded rod 4 is rotatably connected to the second mounting groove 303 by a motor mounted on the rotating seat 3, and a gearbox is disposed between the motor and the bidirectional threaded rod 4; the movable seat 401 is provided in two sets, the two sets of movable seats 401 are slidably connected to the second mounting groove 303 and threadedly sleeved on the bidirectional threaded rod 4, and a plug rod 402 is installed on the movable seat 401.

[0022] Furthermore, an anti-slip sleeve is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the insertion rod 402 to increase the friction between the insertion rod 402 and the flange and prevent slippage.

[0023] Furthermore, a connecting rod 601 is installed on the second annular seat 6, and a through hole 302 is provided on the rotating seat 3, with the connecting rod 601 slidingly inserted into the through hole 302.

[0024] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a dual-axis motor 703, a second threaded rod 7, and a movable arm 701; the dual-axis motor 703 is mounted on the outer wall of the second annular seat 6; two sets of second threaded rods 7 are provided, and the two sets of second threaded rods 7 are respectively connected to the two output ends of the dual-axis motor 703 for transmission; the other end of the second threaded rod 7 is rotatably connected to a mounting bracket 704, and the other end of the mounting bracket 704 is connected to the outer wall of the second annular seat 6; two sets of movable arms 701 are provided, one end of the movable arm 701 is threadedly connected to the corresponding second threaded rod 7, and the other end of the movable arm 701 extends into the interior of the second annular seat 6 and is connected to the clamping seat 702; the movable arm 701 is slidably connected to the second annular seat 6.

[0025] In this embodiment, the controller starts the motor to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 4 to rotate. Under the guidance of the second mounting groove 303, the two sets of moving seats 401 are adjusted to move closer or further away from each other until the two sets of insert rods 402 can be inserted into the corresponding two sets of mounting holes on the flange. Then the flange is pressed against the rotating seat 3. At the same time, the controller fine-tunes the bidirectional threaded rod 4 until the two sets of insert rods 402 move closer to each other to further clamp the flange, thereby completing the flange's positioning.

[0026] The muffler is placed on a set of clamping seats 702 at the lower part of the second annular seat 6. The controller starts the dual-axis motor 703 to drive the two sets of second threaded rods 7 to rotate, thereby causing the two sets of moving arms 701 to slide along the second annular seat 6 until the two sets of clamping seats 702 move closer together to clamp the muffler. The controller starts the translation mechanism to drive the translation frame 5 to move towards the fixed frame 2. At the same time, the connecting rod 601 on the second annular seat 6 slides along the through hole 302 until the end of the muffler to be welded on the second annular seat 6 abuts against the flange connection. Welding can then be performed on the connection by the welding gun. The controller starts the drive assembly 301 to drive the rotating seat 3 to rotate along the fixed frame 2 at a suitable angle. At the same time, the connecting rod 601 drives the second annular seat 6 to rotate synchronously at a suitable angle, thereby rotating the connection between the muffler and the flange at a suitable angle to facilitate welding by the welding gun. The connection can be welded quickly, improving welding efficiency.

Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
